| ==Exporting images==
| |
| At the upper right of each image, there is an 'export' button. This allows the user to download the image in a variety of sizes. The largest size available depends on the size of the original image. Some images are available in 'Extra-extra large' size, but some only go up to size 'Large'.

| |
| *To open a zip file on Windows, right-click on the file and select '''Extract All'''. Select where you want your extracted files to be saved, and click '''Extract'''. A new folder containing the image and text file will appear in the location you selected.

Once the images are in a media group, there will be an export link at the top of the media group. This will export all the images contained in the group.
| |
| | |
| Note that large images and large groups of images can take awhile to download.
| |
| | |
| ==Features==
| |
| | |
| The Folger digital image collection contains high resolution images requested for research, publication, and the web. Also included are items chosen for digitization by Curators, Conservators, and Reading Room Staff; or created for special projects, e.g., pre-1640 quarto editions of Shakespeare.

| | |
| ==Fields==
| |
| | |
| Basic keyword searching may be the best place for you to start searching the Folger digital image collection, for two reasons. First, a basic keyword search will find terms anywhere within whatever information accompanies an image. Second, our image databases are very much works in progress and some fields therefore are empty at the moment. ''To learn more about browsing and searching by keyword, refer to "Quick tips" below.''
| |
| | |
| But use of the Advanced search feature can also be helpful in many cases, e.g. when searching for known items or when creating a persistent hyperlink for a specific subject, name, or boolean keyword search. This list of database fields is intended to help with Advanced searches, and with testing your Advanced search results. '' To learn more about these types of advanced searches, refer to "Digital Image Collection how-tos" below.''
| |
| | |
| ===Image details===
| |
| ''IMPORTANT:'' The "Image details" fields are mostly still empty. That is, even though they show up in the "search" drop-down menu, they contain no data, so a search will not produce results.

| |
|
| |
| ===Hamnet catalog record===
| |
|
| |
| Some images in the Folger digital image collection are accompanied only by abbreviated data records, with fields of the sort described above. However, other image descriptions are supplemented with bibliographic data pulled in from Hamnet.
| |
|
| |
| Some of these Hamnet records may provide additional details that do not appear in "Image" or "Source" fields. Other Hamnet records may describe an entire source item, but may not fully describe the specific portion photographed.
| |
|
| |
| The following fields from Hamnet records may appear in the LUNA digital image database descriptions:
| |
|
| |
| :Creator
| |
| :Uniform title

| ==Quick tips==
| |
| | |
| The following tips and suggestions can help you get the results you are looking for when browsing the Digital Collection.
| |
| | |
| Some images are accompanied by Hamnet records which describe the entire item, not the specific portion photographed. In many cases only abbreviated data records are provided. Thumbnail browsing can be a great way to explore our content without having to enter search terms. In LUNA, you have the option of browsing through up to 250 thumbnails at a time. You can also narrow any browse or search results by selecting a What, Where, Who or When Category from the "Narrow Search" lists displayed on each screen of thumbnails. Follow this [http://doc.lunaimaging.com/display/V7D/Browsing+and+Viewing+Media link] for more about browsing in LUNA on the web.
| |
|
| |
| ====Searching by Keyword in LUNA====
| |
|
| |
| A search by keyword is often the best place to start. A keyword search finds terms anywhere within the information that accompanies an image. Keyword Search in LUNA works much like in a search engine, so you can use the AND, OR, NOT, and " " to help refine your search. You can also use wildcard characters like "*" and "?". For example, enter "Par*" for results like Paris, Parigi, Paraguay, etc. Enter "Rom?" for search results like Rome and Roma.
| |
| | |
| ====What to do if your search isn't working====
| |
| If your search does not appear to be working, [https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-clear-cache-2617980 try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies].
| |
| | |
| If you continue to have trouble after clearing your cache, contact [mailto:lunahelp@folger.edu Luna Help].

| ==Digital Image Collection how-tos==
| |
| | |
| Here are instructions and examples of how to create permanent links to images or searches, how to find known items, and how to get into our page-by-page pre-1640 Shakespeare quartos.
| |
| | |
| =====Creating permalinks to one or more selected images or to a search=====
| |
|
| |
| At any point while in LUNA you can click on the "Share This" link and copy the displayed URL. This shortened permalink URL can be pasted into an email, text document or instant message so you can share your work with others. This is not the same as copying the URL from the browser. The "Share This" URL will ensure that the exact placement, zooming, and general look of your current view are preserved.

| |
|
| |
| The main Folger Shakespeare Library building was designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. A variety of [http://www.folger.edu/Content/About-Us/Building-and-Grounds/ Virtual Tour] features on this website let you take a closer look, but the image database also includes over 100 images of the building. To browse these shots of the architecture and grounds:
